3 Hacks To Stop Defining Yourself By Your Work
It’s easy to identify ourselves with our work. It’s been hardwired into us culturally since we were kids. What do you want to be when you grow up? The answers are never father, sister, avid runner, etc, are they? No, they are policeman, teacher, fireman, astronaut and so on and so forth. The problem with identifying and defining yourself by your work is that work will end, and we are MUCH MORE than just our work. So, when someone asks what you do and you respond with; writer, accountant, attorney etc, then it might be time for you to consider these 3 hacks on how you can stop defining yourself by your work! 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Before we pull back the curtain on identity and defining ourselves, did you know that 70% of businesses will fail? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. Hack #1 Don’t tell people WHAT YOU DO. When asked what you do, reply instead with WHO YOU ARE, or ask for clarity if they’d like to know what you do professionally or what you do for your hobbies or downtime. Although a small change this will help you rewire how you think about yourself. What we put out there becomes what we are! Hack #2 Stop objectifying yourself. In this instance, objectifying yourself means that you are distilling yourself down to one characteristic such as: I’m an entrepreneur, or, I’m a financial advisor. You are much more than that and by reducing yourself down to one simple thing you actively objectify yourself. Most of us won’t stand to see someone else being objectified, and it’s time for us to stop objectifying ourselves! Hack #3 Get away from it. Hustle culture is very real and can be quite toxic. If all you do is work and you never step away you’ll never really know if this is really who you want to be. Getting away and actually NOT WORKING when you get away allows you to find your center again. Your center is the place inside of you that is values and truth focused. It’s your beliefs and who you are. It will help you remember that you are much more than your work. Are you the type of person that could benefit from reshaping how you define yourself?

3 Tips On How To Deal With Serious Adversity
Have you ever heard witnessed and remembered something, crystal clearly, and then have someone share their same experience with you only to find out that what they saw, heard and remembered was not the same as you? We all experience life differently and even when being in the same place for the same event we’re going to have different experiences. The same event, different perspective and a different truth. In this blog we’re going to give you 3 of the best tips to deal with serious adversity, and it starts with perception! 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Before we pull back the curtain on adversity, did you know that 70% of businesses will fail? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. 1. Be grateful for it We know it sounds nuts. It’s probably also very difficult to do in the moment but showing gratitude for adversity requires us to admit that there can be good that comes from this experience. It turns a challenge from something stopping us to something that will propel us forward even faster! Consider how someone you respect and admire would handle it OR how your best competitor would 2. Consider how someone you respect and admire would handle it OR how your best competitor would handle it Put yourselves in the shoes of someone you greatly admire, or someone who is phenomenal at what they do. How do you think they would respond to the adversity. Not only will this pull you away from personalizing the adversity too much, but it will also help you look through a different lens on how to respond to it. 3. Write down how you will grow from this It’s easy to react. It’s much harder to respond. Reactions are our immediate responses to a situation. They are reflex and they are typically emotional and protective in nature. Responses are measured, thoughtfully made decisions after we have a chance to process. Writing down how you will grow from serious adversity forces you to take a more measured approach and allows you to spend time processing through your emotions and the situation.

3 Tips On Celebrating Without Getting Off Course
It’s incredibly important to celebrate. Celebration allows us to refresh our minds, recenter our energy on why we got started and forces us to actively review and serve reverence to milestones and victories achieved on our journey. In other words, celebration forces us to slow down and appreciate what we have accomplished. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon to allow celebrating to take us off course. In this blog we’ll offer 3 tips on how to celebrate without getting off track! 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Before we toss any confetti, did you know that 70% of businesses will fail? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. Here’s the best ways to celebrate while staying on track Celebrate in a way that doesn’t take away from your progress Ever see someone successfully complete a diet and then celebrate by having a ridiculous cheat day? Sure, they’ve accomplished something great, but they actively work against their progress in the celebration. The key to celebrating effectively and staying on track is to celebrate with a reward that does not undermine your progress. On a diet? Celebrate with something different than food. Exercising a ton to get healthy? Celebrate by giving yourself a spa day to workout the knots and tension in your muscles. Celebrate more consistently and less heavily Do you know anyone that’s achieved something great and then goes out on a rager to celebrate? It’s like a ton of pent up emotion comes out all at once. It’s better to celebrate in moderation, more frequently than it is to go all out. Going all out can be a disruptor and disruptors are known for getting people off track with their behaviors. Try celebrating with some more frequency and in greater moderation if this is something you find yourself guilty of! Celebrate with your supporters Most of us aren’t on an island by ourselves. Our businesses and our goals are supported by our partners, spouses, family members, investors, constituents, clients…etc. Nobody is successful by themselves. Celebrating with your supporters shows you care and nets you two birds with one stone. Not only do you get all the benefits of celebration, by making your supporters a part of the celebration you actively re-engage them and their efforts and acknowledge the influence and impact they have had on your journey!

Consistency Makes You Elite, Here’s Why!
Kobe Bryant will go down as one of the most electrifying basketball players of all time. He’s got his own Mamba Mindset which has transcended his death and inspires people daily! Kobe was known for his refusal to quit and his willingness to put in the effort. Although a superstar, Bryant still practiced 6 hours a day and wouldn’t quit practice until he had made 400 shots. He was typically the first player in the gym. Kobe earned his elite status, and he did it through consistency. Consistency will make you elite and in the rest of the blog we’ll explain why! 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail As always, before we chat consistency, did you know that 70% of businesses will fail? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. Here’s our top reasons why consistency will make you elite! The Motions Become Second Nature In professional athletes, practice is easy to see. We see the same consistent swings, throws, catches, movements, and we see the results, typically in the moment itself. In business, practice isn’t so easy to see. The truth is, most professionals and businesses don’t practice at all. They just start swinging, throwing, and catching, or the business equivalent. But practice is essential. To knowing your messaging, to your brand, to your presentations and elevator pitches all the way to objection handling. The only way to make these business movements second nature is by consistently practicing. You do this and you’ll never stumble over your value, your services or your prospect objections again. Consistency Sets Expectations and Comfort Do you love Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts? Do you find yourself consistently going back? Whether you love them or not, there’s a good chance you go back to one or the other consistently. The reason? They have set your expectations and they consistently meet them! You may not love either of them but chances are, if there is a coffee shop you’re going to stop at you’re likely to choose one over the other. That reason has more to do with consistency than you’d expect. Elite businesses and elite professionals practice consistency to provide a customer experience that customers can depend on. When people can depend on you to do what you say on a regular basis, this creates comfort. What do we all crave and enjoy? Comfort! Want to become more consistent?

Why We Prioritize Sleep
The hustle culture is great. But there’s a reason we talk about HUSTLE 256. There are serious issues in the hustle culture, one of which we take umbrage to is how people and the culture treats sleep. In the article below we’ll discuss why we prioritize sleep, and you should too! 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Before we regale you with our opinion on sleep (science based of course), did you know that 70% of businesses will fail? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. Sleep is essential to every process and function in the body. Go long enough without sleep and you’ll face serious consequences. Here are 3 HUGE reasons why sleep should be prioritized. Tip 1 – Keep Your Emotions Under Control Tantrums, mood swings, depression, suicide, risky behavior…they are all more likely when dealing with less sleep. In business, keeping our emotions in check is an essential skill. It’s not that we think business shouldn’t have emotions, it’s that we believe emotions need to be harnessed appropriately. Tip 2 – Improved Brain Function Studies have shown 24 hours without sleep behind the wheel of a car leads to the same level of impairment as drinking and driving. Reaction times, problems solving, and clarity of thought are all negatively impacted by lack of sleep. Tip 3 – Prevent Chronic Illness Lose enough sleep and your ability to stave off illness and several serious diseases such as heart disease, kidney disease, and others is impacted. Those of us sleep deprived are 55% more likely to end up obese. Think sleep doesn’t influence your ability to stay healthy and top of your game? It does, big time! Do you need support with your time management so you get enough sleep to operate at peak performance?

3 Tips To Being More Intentional When You Network
Networking and referrals can easily mean the difference between a thriving business and someone barely scraping by. However, networking can be time consuming. For most of us, getting a better return on our time is an ongoing goal that we are constantly working on. The good news is, most of us can get a lot better at networking, yours truly included! Here are 3 tips to keep in mind to be more intentional when you network so you can get more impact out of your time spent meeting others! 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Before we discuss our tips, did you know that 70% of businesses will fail? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. If you’re already out there networking, you probably have seen and heard it all. The people who talk about themselves non-stop. That one person that hands out 1000 business cards like it’s monopoly money. The (shudder) people that try to sell you on something before they even know you or know if you’re a prospect. Networking can suck sometimes. It can also be highly effective if it’s done correctly. Here’s some ways to be more intentional and more effective at you networking. As we like to say… “Pay Attention to Intention. Tip 1: Be intentional with your questions There are a lot of great questions to ask networking, ‘what do you do for work?’ is not really one of them. Yes, it might give you some information about someone, but it isn’t going to open someone up the way many other questions can and will. Someone is always going to share what they do when prompted, but a better question might be ‘can you share what you do and why you decided to do it?’ At least this way you’ll get someone to really stop and think for a moment. That’ll help them remember you and it’ll help you learn some details you might not otherwise have learned. Also read: Finding and developing context in your conversations and Asking the right questions Tip 2 – Be intentional with how you listen Someone says something to you. You listen and you respond back. They listen and they respond back. This is communication. Except…except often what someone says and what they meant are two different things. And then of course, what’s said and what’s heard are often two different things. It’s normal to struggle with listening, we are naturally going to try to focus on what we want to say. Getting intentional with listening will change the way everyone around you views you, positively. Be intentional and listen carefully! Best way to do it? Repeat what somebody said to you to make sure you heard it correctly and to make sure they said it correctly! Also read: Top Tips To Excel At Active Listening Tip 3 – Give intentionally Going into networking events with the mindset of giving is very different than most attendees. Most attendees will only go into networking trying to get. If you go in with the intention of giving you will positively help someone. When you help someone, they like you and are more likely to help you. Do this enough and you’ll experience 10x or 100x the return of someone who is only looking to ‘get’ from a networking event!

Creating An Authentic Story To Brand, Market and Sell
Stories have power. Stories can teach, persuade, energize and move. Stories are a fundamental part of human history and storytelling is an essential business skill to master. When it comes to storytelling, it’s not just about laying down a good story. It’s about creating an authentic story. In this article we’ll discuss some tips to create an authentic story so your brand can be remembered, your audience can find you and your prospects want to buy from you. 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Before we regale you with authentic storytelling, did you know that 70% of businesses will fail? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. Our conversation with Abby Mellinger of Penza Productions helped to inspire todays blog. You can listen in to the replay of our conversation on our podcast here, or you can watch it on our Youtube channel! Watch on Youtube What’s the deal with authentic storytelling, and how do I do it? It’s a key piece of any business or professional service…it’s what sets you apart! Nobody else can have your authentic story. The magic is in bringing it to life! Start with… Facing your fear! Authentic storytelling begins with our human story. Not just the good. Not just the brag. The dirty, the vulnerable, the things that cause shame and remorse. By facing our fear we can share some of the more vulnerable parts of our stories and that authenticity will always shine through. Be bold and unafraid. Make sure you… Tell your story with passion. This is your story. It’s your life, your dream, your vision. If you don’t have passion when you’re telling your story, you also won’t have an audience. Nobody wants to listen to a deadpan story. Be vested and present in your story while you tell it. People respond to passion! Bring it back… We are all guilty of forgetfulness. When crafting a great story there should be a bridge from the beginning to the end. Think of it like a circle. Tell a story in a circle where the beginning meets the end. The past is set next to the present. Do this and, in the future, your audience will continue to remember your story! Storytelling does not come naturally for a lot of people!

Tips to reduce tension using humor
Humor is a powerful tool! For some of us it comes naturally and for others, not so much. That’s ok because even those of us that don’t have a single funny bone in their body can still learn to use humor effectively. In today’s blog we have some tips to help you use humor to reduce tension. 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Before we discuss our tips, did you know that 70% of businesses will fail? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. We also recently interviewed Lorena Tomasini of MALM Life and Health Insurance Agency. Our conversation ranged from risk management to cultural differences in sales to humor. This helped to inspire todays blog. You can listen in to the replay of our conversation on our podcast here, or you can watch it on our Youtube channel! Watch on Youtube Let’s face it. Business conversations can be tense. Often, even if we’re not talking about heavy topics like death we are still dealing with commitment and money. Both can be heavy triggers for a lot of people and the need for diffusing some of that tension is an absolute necessity in certain conversations. This is when humor can be an absolute life saver in your sales conversations. Here are 3 hacks to use humor to reduce tension. Hack 1 Humor can be used in almost ANY conversation. Truly. Talking about death? You can use humor. Hospital stays? Yup, humor. Cancer? Yeah, humor still works. Don’t be afraid to test humor in your conversations, especially when they are heavy. It will help ease some of the gravity of the conversation and allow you to focus on the solution and not the heavy topic at hand. Hack 2 Know your audience and know your timing. I know this sounds basic, but it can be hard to read the people in front of you, especially if you’re virtual. While humor can almost always be effective, if you don’t know your audience or get the timing wrong, humor may hurt more than it helps. If someone is seriously grieving this might be a dangerous time to use humor about death. Knowing your audience will help you decide if it’s an appropriate time to use humor. Hack 3 Learn what works and recycle it. For some people they don’t need to do this. They are naturally funny, able to be witty on their feet and probably are not even seriously reading this blog since they have such a comfort with humor. For many of the rest of us humor is difficult to capture. That’s why I’m a firm believer in finding some jokes that work well and implementing them, deliberately, into your conversations. Over time you’ll learn who to use them with, when to use them with and how to be most effective with your humor. Sales is a process and learning how to use humor to reduce tension is something you can absolutely build into your process.

How To Stand Out In A Saturated Industry
You’re in a crowded room. It’s loud. You can barely hear the person across from you. They can barely hear you. Your throat is getting sore, you’re starting to feel frustration sink in and you know that there’s no way you’re going to be able to make any sort of real impression. Welcome to business in today’s world! If you’re struggling to stand out in a saturated industry, it can feel like what we just described. In this blog we’ll offer a couple of ideas to help you stand out in a crowded room so you don’t feel like you have to shout until you’re hoarse! 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Before we discuss our tips, did you know that 70% of businesses will fail? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. Our chat with Steph Weber, CEO of The Weber Co is our inspiration for this blog. Steph talked to us about the alignment of brand and marketing strategies and recognizes that ALL industries are saturated, yours included! You can listen in to the replay of our conversation on our podcast here, or you can watch it on our Youtube channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RT4UxHxMm4 Watch on Youtube Idea #1 It’s not about reinventing the wheel; it’s about telling your story in a different way. Successful businesses put the customer first, especially the customer needs. The next time you need to stand out tell a story about your customer win’s. Make it all about the customer, the ideal avatar and not about your business. Share how a customer problem was solved and THEN you can talk about how you were able to solve it better than someone else! Idea #2 You are unique. What makes you unique is your value. Nobody else offers the same exact experience that you offer. In a world where products and services are commoditized, if you want to stand out, your unique story needs to fulfill something to your customers and prospects that no one else is fulfilling. Again, this is about your customers, however, what is unique to you is what can best serve your customers. Magnifying this and crafting a strong story around it will help you stand out and cut through the noise! There are so many ways you can stand out from the competition.
